Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vart tog alla humlorna vägen? När såg du senast en humla? Har du en känsla av att du egentligen borde ha sett dem oftare? Det kan finnas en fullkomligt naturlig förklaring till den här känslan: humlorna minskar i antal och håller långsamt på att försvinna. Jag vill undersöka om detta verkligen håller på att hända. Riskerar vi att få leva i en framtid helt utaAbstract Bumble bees pollinate a wide range of crops; many of them being of importance to the global economy. It is believed that pollinators, including bumble bees, are declining due to habitat loss and transformation of high quality habitats into low quality habitats; a phenomenon often associated with modern agricultural practices. Some sources, however, claim that not all bumble bee species a

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of remote sensing aerosol data as an estimator of ground level fine particulate matter concentration (PM 2.5). In order to examine this possible relation, daily MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data were used, collected for an entire year. The analysis involved manipulation of pollution and meteorological data, such as the PM 2.5 concentration wh

Klimatförändringar har skett i alla tider har haft förödande effekter för livet på jorden. Nu för tiden har man hittat kopplingar mellan miljöproblemen och människans aktiviteter (IPCC 2013, 7). All utveckling påverkar naturen på ett eller annat sätt, det gäller också turismutveckling som till exempel bidrar med mer transporter till en plats. Då kan ett hållbart tillvägagångssätt vara en lösning fA sustainable approach could be a solution for the tourism industry to reduce its climate impact. The aim of this thesis was to develop a sustainable tourism strategy, in collaboration with Swedish region Halland.

Dödsstraffet är ett straff som har diskuterats i hundratals år. Jag är själv fascinerad av de argument som har använts, och fortfarande används, för och emot bibehållandet av strafftypen. Genom att studera förarbeten och doktrin har jag försökt utreda hur och varför Sverige avskaffade dödsstraffet. Jag har också jämfört den svenska processen med den som pågick vid ungefär samma tid i Danmark. BådaThe death penalty has been debated for hundreds of years. I am personally fascinated by the arguments used for keeping and removing the penalty from the legislation. I have by studying the legislative history and doctrine tried to research how and why Sweden abolished the death penalty. I also compared the results with the same process in Denmark. Both countries chose to abolish the death penalty

Syftet med denna studie är att redogöra för och förklara vad städer bör tänka på vid utformning av en låst cykelparkering. Vidare kommer studien att klargöra och ifrågasätta konceptet med att kommuner tillhandahåller låsta cykelparkeringar, utifrån om de efterfrågas, uppskattas och om de faktiskt bidrar till att stimulera cykling. Tanken är också med den här studien att undersöka hur väl den övergThe aim of this study is to describe and explain what cities should consider when designing a locked bicycle parking. Furthermore, the study will clarify and question the concept of municipalities providing locked bicycle parking, on the basis of the demand and appreciation. The idea of the study is also of to examine how well the overall objective of the locked cycle garages conform to the users

I Sverige har avtal om hyra och nyttjanderätt traditionellt ansetts ha en särställning jämfört med andra obligationsrättsliga avtal. Starka sociala, nationalekonomiska och företagsekonomiska skäl har präglat lagstiftningen i syfte att skydda hyrestagaren, genom olika former av besittningsskydd och metoder för hyresreglering. Uppsatsen behandlar reglering, syften och motiv kring det indirekta besThe rental contract is a different form of contract compared to other contracts in Sweden.

Bostadssituationen i Sverige har under de senaste åren utvecklats i en oroande riktning. Den rådande bostadsbristen påverkar alla samhällsgrupper men de som drabbas hårdast är de som redan står längst ifrån bostadsmarknaden. De senaste årens ökning av den strukturella hemlösheten i Sverige har även ökat arbetsbelastningen hos den redan överbelastade socialtjänsten när hushåll som egentligen inte hThe current housing shortage affects all social classes but those most affected are the ones already furthest away from the housing market. The homelessness caused by structural factors has increased in Sweden during the last couple of years. It has led to an increased workload for the Social Services. Today, there is no unambiguous definition of social housing connected to the legal framework in

Introduction: A new method for separation and determination of Glyphosate and Glufosinate alongside their respective major metabolites aminomethylphosphonic acid and 3-(methylphosphinico)propionic acid was found then tested in spiked soil and surface water. Background: Most methods today require derivatization for determination and separation of these compounds. Methods without derivatization rel

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly transformed the world of academia, forcing many academics to begin working remotely, disrupting their work-life balance. Late-career academics are under-represented in the literature when it comes to their understanding of work-life balance and remote work. For this reason, we decided to combine the concepts of work-life balance and remote work, and explore the pe

Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos

Microalgae belong to the group of the oldest microorganisms that can grow in both fresh and marine water. Microalgal biomass is a rich source of vitamins, lipids, pigments and essential amino acids. Microalgal biomass can be used without cracking and fractionation or it can be cracked, fractionated and purified to get particular components like vitamins, pigments, omega-3 oils and proteins. But du

Interactions of a potential new PAMP with a startling receptor The presence of an innate immune system means we are able to quickly identify a threat and promptly fight it off without the need to ask for its identification card. This way, innate immunity dampens damage while providing time for the adaptive branch of the immune system to develop more specific cells and molecules against the intrud

Sedan 1700-talet har 87 procent av världens våtmarker försvunnit, med en acceleration under de senaste 50 åren där mer än en tredjedel av världens våtmarker försvunnit på grund av exploatering. Våtmarker bidrar med många viktiga funktioner, såsom klimateglering genom att minska översvämningar och torka samt genom att agera som naturliga reningsverk. I takt med klimatförändringarna har våtmarkers fWetlands play a vital role globally in protecting biodiversity, purifying water, and mitigating floods.
